A SUBSTANTIAL FIVE EN-SUITE BEDROOM BUNGALOW WITH DIRECT SHORE ACCESS TO THE SEA LOCH AT UIG BAY. THE PROPERTY IS FULLY DOUBLE GLAZED AND BENEFITS FROM OIL FIRED CENTRAL HEATING. THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN RUN FOR MANY YEARS AS A SUCCESSFUL BED & BREAKFAST ESTABLISHEMENT DUE TO ITS LOCATION CLOSE TO THE FERRY PORT OF UIG - THE GATEWAY TO THE OUTER ISLES.
ACCOMMODATION: PORCH, HALLWAY, LOUNGE, KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, UTILITY ROOM, FIVE EN-SUITE BEDROOMS AND LARGE INTEGRAL GARAGE.
Ard Na Mara is a substantial detached five bedroom bungalow in a seafront location. Located right on the shore of Uig Bay, the waves lap right up to the bottom of the garden and afford views across Uig Bay and Loch Snizort beyond to the Waternish peninsula.
Uig is the main ferry port on the Isle of Skye and is the gateway to the Outer Isles. Being only a short distance from the terminal, Ard Na Mara is ideally located to take advantage of the year round Bed & Breakfast trade. The ferry actually passes the bottom of the garden on its way in and out of port!
Built circa 1980, Ard Na Mara is a modern bungalow benefiting from full UPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating. All rooms have sea views and all five bedrooms have en-suite facilities. In addition to the spacious lounge and large kitchen/dining room the property has a large integral garage which offers the potential for conversion to provide additional accommodation subject to the required planning consents.
The current owners have run the property as a successful Bed & Breakfast establishment for many years. In recent times this has been scaled down as they are looking to retire.
LOCATION
Uig is the main ferry terminus with regular sailings to the outer isles of Harris & Lewis via Tarbert and the Uists’ via Lochmaddy. Local services include a general store, petrol station, pub, bakery, primary schooling and the local Skye Brewery . Secondary education is provided in Portree, some 18 miles to the south, together with all the facilities you would expect of a modern town (although known as ‘the village’) including supermarkets, shops, banks, cottage hospital, swimming pool and library.
With its ferry links, Uig benefits from a daily bus service to Portree with onward links to the mainland.
On a clear day, with stunning uninterrupted views across Uig Bay and Loch Snizort towards Waternish you may catch sight of a seal or even the occasional dolphin. If you are particularly lucky you may even catch a glimpse of the resident Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles – binoculars at the ready!
It is also only a short distance to the heart of the Quiraing and the Trotternish Ridge and only a short drive to the north you have the ruinous Duntulm Castle.
